Sean Kingston No Longer In Critical Condition

Sunday evening, Sean Kingston, "Beautiful Girls" singer was critically injured in a jet skiing accident in Miami. Kingston was riding with a female passenger around 6 p.m. when he crashed into a bridge (pictured below).  The passenger, Cassandra Sanchez is speaking to the media about the accident.  She said that after the crash Sean was coughing up blood, foam and pink stuff" ... and when he finally opened his eyes, he kept repeating the words, "I'm hurting. I'm hurting"

Sean was initially listed in critical condition and transported to ICU.   Sanchez told TMZ that Sean was going "really fast" as they approached the bridge.  She also stated that "Both jet skis pulled out of the dock at the same time and we were going so fast we just blasted past them. When we turned a corner and crashed ... they were so far behind us they didn't even see us crash."  She said she told Kingston that they couldn't fit under the bridge and asked him to stop.  As far as Kingston's condition, Sanchez says "they have a tube down his throat so he can't really talk, but he is lucid and understands what's going on.  Doctors plan to keep Sean in the hospital for "a couple more weeks."

I met Kingston a few years back during the BET Awards.  He was a really nice guy and seemed to have a great spirit. DDT is praying for his recovery.

Lauren London Opens Up About Her Relationship With Wayne

Lauren London spoke with "Under My Skin" and talked about her celebrity status and her relationship with rapper, Lil Wayne.  Check out some excerpts from the interview below.

KC: The desire to attain “celebrity status” has driven many young people to pursue the elusive dream of stardom. Is that what made you want to be an actress?

LL: I wish that was the case, because I’d be able to handle the attention a little better. No. I was an only child who spent a lot of time alone. Movies kept me company from a very young age, and starting from about seven years old, I wrote little plays and acted out all the parts by myself in my bedroom. I can’t remember a time when I didn’t want to be an actor. It’s crazy though, because I’m such a private person. I was never interested in becoming famous. I still struggle with that aspect of my work.

KC: Doesn’t every celebrity say that after they become famous? “I love my craft, but I wish I could just have a normal life.”

LL: (laughs) I’m not complaining and I’m not that famous. I do get recognized, but I’m not being hounded by paparazzi every day. I’m human, so of course I like getting special treatment at times. But deep down that girl from the neighborhood is still in here. She might shy away from having her picture taken, and would rather blend in with the scenery sometimes and just observe.

KC: What is the biggest misperception people have of you? What misperception bothers you most?

LL: That my son is the result of some kind of one night stand or groupie encounter with his father. I struggle with deciding when to answer or ignore the constant speculation about my private life, because I feel like that doesn’t belong to anybody but me.

KC: Do you want to go on to the next question, or clear up the speculation now?

LL: I met Dwayne when I was 15 years old. I’ve known him a very long time, and we were in a relationship that didn’t make it. We tried more than once to revive it, and we were engaged briefly years ago, but we eventually parted ways. People see the “Lil’ Wayne” persona and think they know who he really is. My son’s father is an intelligent, loving and lovable person who will always be a dear friend. That is all.

KC: If you don’t mind another personal question, there is a lot of talk about how well the mothers of his children get along. What’s the real deal?

LL: We are all good-hearted women who love our children and we want them to know each other. Real friendships have grown from that foundation and the result has been more love, less drama and less trauma for our kids.

One thing about it, she's kept little Camron under wraps.  I've yet to see a picture of him surface and I don't blame her.  Check out the full interview here.

Finale Episode Of The Oprah Winfrey Show

Yesterday when I left work, I headed to my parents house to watch the very last episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show.  There were no celebrity guests, in fact there were no guests at all.  Just my Aunt Oprah standing on the stage thanking US for supporting her for the past 25 years.  As she thanked us, she (as usual) said some things that brought up dozens of thoughts in my head.   She made me realize that I've heard some whispers that I shrugged off.  Actually, at this time in my life I think I just might be feeling that brick she mentioned.  Unfortunately, this brick didn't come with a note attached so I'm not exactly sure what it is that life is trying to tell me. Whatever it is, I plan to figure it out!  Check out the last show below, thanks to Miss Jia for the upload. 




So yeah.. I was crying like a nut!!  I can't express how much admiration and love I have for this woman.  She is truly amazing and she deserves all the blessings that have been bestowed upon her.  To whom much is given, much is required.  She has been given so much and given us more in return.  This show will definitely be missed! If you're like me the transition won't be SO bad , I've already followed Lady O over to the OWN Network LOL.

Video Dish: Dark Girls Preview

It's a tale as old as time.. Check out this documentary about the challenges of being a "Dark Girl".


Dark Girls: Preview from Bradinn French on Vimeo.

Hmph, you would think that in THIS day and time we wouldn't have this same old issue coming up. Although I'm tired of hearing about it, it can't be ignored because it is STILL relevant. I know we all handle things differently in this world but I can tell you this, although I have ALWAYS noticed that lighter girls/women seem to be approached quicker than the darker girls/women, I have NEVER had an issue with my beautiful brown skin. I come from a family that includes the darkest of the dark and the lightest of the light. There was no differences made amongst any of them. These issues start in the home. When that young lady said her mother stated "can you imagine if she had any lightness in her skin", that hurt me something terrible. If a parent doesn't teach a child that they are loved and to love themselves, who will? Society and anybody else can say what they want, but I'm a FIRM believer that "the blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice", LOL.  It's time to do better people, ESPECIALLY my black people!

Our children need to know that they are beautiful and worthy no matter what!! On Oprah's finale show yesterday (tear), she said something that ALL of our children need to hear and know, "you are worthy because you were born...because you are here."

Beyonce' Performs New Song "1+1" On American Idol

Beyonce visited American Idol for the second time this season to perform at the finale.  Check her performance of her new song called 1+1.



THIS is why Beyonce' can NOT be touched.  Simply standing in a beautiful gown without all the extra going on behind her, she is STILL a powerhouse.  She blew the hell out of that song!! She just made me want to go out and find me a PLUS 1.


Check out the 1+1 album version. I absolutely LOVEEEEEEEE it! Sounds like something from Prince, like it could have been on the Purple Rain soundtrack.




Beyonce also joined this season's female finalists as they performed a medley of her songs. Check MORE DISH for that performance.

Kim Kardashian Engaged!!

Well, Kim finally got her man!! Her boyfriend of 6 months, NBA player Kris Humphries asked for her hand in marriage on in her Beverly Hills home on May 18th.  Check out what Kim told People Magazine about the proposal.

Kris was waiting in her bedroom on bended knee with four words written in red rose petals: "WILL YOU MARRY ME?"


"I didn't expect this at all," Kardashian, 30, tells PEOPLE in an exclusive interview (out Friday) of the romantic, surprise proposal. "I was in such shock. I never thought it would happen at home, and I never thought now."

Humphries popped the question with a custom-designed, 20.5-carat Lorraine Schwartz diamond sparkler. "I just knew I wanted it to be big," says Humphries, 26, who, with the help of Kardashian's mom Kris Jenner, planned an intimate family celebration later that evening.

"Kris really didn't want a big celebration, but he had jokingly told my mom he'd be fine if there were mini-horses there," says Kardashian with a laugh. "Later that night at the party, my mom brought out two mini-horses, covered in glitter, for us! It was hysterical!"

Congrats to Kimmie.  It amazes me how quickly OTHER men can decide on marriage while black men some can usually take forever!!  I think it's so cute that Kris spells his name with a "K" also, now they can keep the tradition going with their little ones.
